Tearaway

Although the PlayStation 4 drew most of the attention at E3 2013, Sony’s other systems had a few highlights of their own. The PlayStation 3 boastedGran Turismo 6 and Beyond: Two Souls. Meanwhile, the PlayStation Vita, which will be integrated with the PlayStation 4, has at least two big games on the docket.

The first is Tearaway, the latest title from LittleBigPlanet creator Media Molecule. It’s a game that breaks the fourth wall as fans control a character called the Messenger who is trying to deliver a letter to you, the player. To be more specific, the missive is what makes up the Messenger’s head.

Much like Patapon, you are a deity to the people of Tearaway. Players even appear in the papercrafted sun via the Vita’s front-facing camera. It’s a novel way to use the platform and indicative of Media Molecule effort to fill the game with thoughtful gameplay innovations tailored to the system.
